Chapter 106 : A Broken Dream

I sat on a fallen log at the edge of town, waiting for the Norwind survivors.

Soren and his men had gathered some supplies. Mostly water and a little food. I knew Soren wanted to have some food for me and the baby, but once we got moving, they’d be hunting for their meals.

“Mila, it’s time to get going,” Soren said, reaching a hand out to me to help me up.

Sighing, I took his hand and he pulled me up.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, brushing his thumb over my knuckles.

“I knew not everyone would come but… I didn’t think no one would come,” I admitted. I looked down the road toward the village.

Not one Norwind member had shown up. They’d all chosen to remain behind and take their chances with their attackers.

Soren was right, they had their own fates, their own destinies. I couldn’t save people that didn’t want to be saved. All I could do was remind myself that I’d done everything I could. I’d offered them a way out, it was their prerogative not to take it.

“You did what you could, Mila,” Soren said, squeezing my hand.

“And somehow, it doesn’t feel like enough…”

“It’ll be okay. We have a way out of here and we need to focus on getting ourselves out of Norwind.”

I sighed and nodded. “You’re right. We’ve got our own destinies to think about.”

Soren nodded to his warriors and they started gathering up our supplies. Mostly, it was camping and survival gear. We didn’t want to take any food from Nowind, except what I would need to stay strong and healthy, for the baby, until they could start hunting in the mountains.

“Let’s move out,” Soren said. He pointed down the road toward the southwestern mountains.

I sighed again and stood closer to Soren. We only made it a few steps when my ears perked up and I heard someone running down the road.

“Miss Mila, wait up!” Enzo’s voice called.

I turned around and saw him running after us, breathing heavily and waving us down.

“Enzo!”

“I’m… sorry… sorry we’re late,” he said. He came to a halt and clutched his side. “We went to get more herbs and healing supplies, in case anyone gets injured along the way.”

“We?”

I looked around Enzo and saw more figures approaching.

“Charles… Lilian… Ben…?”

I saw other faces I recognized. It looked like almost all the Norwind survivors.

“Is this… everyone?” I asked.
